They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening. There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their “warm beer”! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas(而) bitter is a darker brown. All beers are served as pints(500ml) or halves(250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say, “__________.”Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your “round”. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers！”51. What’s the best title of the passage?

If you are in a pub, as a high school student, what would you like to drink? Why?____________________________________________________________________55. Which sentence in the passage has the similar meaning to the following one?If you don’t buy a drink for everyone in your group, you are socially wrong.____________________________________________________________________3.第六节：根据汉语意思，用所学短语完成句子，注意大小写。

The tropical island has set an ambitious goal to become the country’s southern centre of technological innovation. The approval of the establishment of the Hainan Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ, 自由贸易区试点) has opened a new era for the island’s development. This island will be granted more autonomy (自主权) to reform.The first global tech company to commit itself to a presence on the island was Microsoft. The U.S. technology giant has formed a partnership with the provincial government to transform Hainan into a powerhouse of software development. Singaporean investment company Temasek, which had invested in Tencent and Alibaba, joined forces withHainan-based HNA Group in April last year to explore opportunities in aviation, logistics and airport infrastructure. The Hainan government is now in talks with other tech multinationals (跨国企业), including IBM and SAP, to establish their regional headquarters on the island.According to China’s State Council (国务院), the Hainan FTZ will be operational by 2020 and reach a “mature” stage by 2035. Industries such as tourism, medical care, aviation and newenergy will be given preferential treatment (优惠待遇).To be sure, Hainan has to face tough competition. As an emerging tech centre, it has no choice but to compete against established centers like Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. But officials in Hainan are confident. “Compared with Beijing and Shanghai, Hainan has a geographical advantage that can connect China wi th Southeast Asia,” said an official from the provincial government. “It would be attractive for multinationals and domestic giants to set up regional headquarters here.”16．Besides tourism, Hainan currently aims to develop ______.A．agriculture B．businessC．technology D．marine development17．Which of the foreign companies has cooperated with Hainan for the longest period of time up till now?A．FTZ. B．Microsoft.C．Temasek. D．IBM.18．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Hainan: More than a Tourist DestinationB．Confident Officials in HainanC．More Autonomy to ReformD．Headquarters of Tech Multinationals in HainanThere is a giant mirror in my hometown, covering one side of a building that I had to walk past to get to school. When I was a teenager, I learned to take a different route. The mirror was clean and shiny, and I saw myself in reflection, plodding (沉重地走) down the hill without grace or charm. Suddenly, I could see the truth so plainly: however long I spent applying makeup or adjusting my outfit or preparing myself to go out, I couldn’t see the “beautiful” me I had imagined.When I was a teenager, the widespread message that “everyone is beautiful” was deeply rooted in my mind. I admired beauty so much because I often felt awkward as a teenager and beauty seemed to be the most important goal. To be beautiful was to have power over others. It was much more difficult to make a beautiful girl seem foolish than it was an average looking one, I thought.Eventually I grew up, and my obsession (迷恋), seemingly, faded. Much worse thingsthan not being beautiful happened to me. I was ashamed that at the age of 28, I had to move back home and live with my parents for a whole month because I was too broke to pay the rent. Yet, the embarrassment I felt as a teenager about not fitting some ideal of beauty never went away. The returning awareness of my physical shortcomings, the mirror’s sharp reminder, kept telling me whatever else I am, I would never be that.After years of trying to be beautiful, now, for the first time, I’m coming to realize that I don’t have to be. I’m increasingly convinced the idea that “everyone is beautiful” isn’t only less important than we might like to believe, but also quite harmful. Wouldn’t it be liberating (使得到释放的) to admit that most people are not beautiful? I wonder what it would be like to grow up in a world where being beautiful is not seen as a necessity, but instead a nice thing some people are born with and some people aren’t, like a talent for swimmin g, or playing the piano. Some people have other talents.It has seemed to take up so much of my life, being desperate to not only be acceptable to look at, but also stunning (极美的), exceptional (非凡的) and enchanting (迷人的). What might I have experienced if I had not been trying to achieve “beauty”? What would it have been like to pass that mirror in my hometown, and to see myself — on the way to the library, or a party with friends — and simply felt glad that I was able to do those things with a body that allowed me to?Everybody is beautiful, we’re told. But why should we have to be?19．What does the underlined word “outfit” in the first paragraph mean?A．Attitude. B．Lifestyle.C．Costume. D．V oice.20．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A．Her obsession with a beautiful appearance was gone as she grew up.B．She stopped worrying about her appearance because she turned pretty.C．She still felt embarrassed every time she passed the giant mirror.D．Her financial trouble kept her from caring about her looks anymore.21．What’s the purpose of the author in writing this article?A．To entertain readers with her mirror-related life story.B．To teach readers that everyone can be beautiful.C．To criticize those who overrate (高估) their appearances.D．To convince readers appearances are not a necessity.Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However, it’ s far more complicated than that.Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count?How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a viru s totals 1, 185 letters. There’s also a protein whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? “Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long?If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization (22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters). Or perhaps the wo rd “smiles” is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a “mile” between the first and the last letters! 22．What is the first thing to consider when we decide the longest word?A．Whether it is a real word. B．Whether it can be pronounced. C．Whether it is used in daily life. D．Whether it can be understood. 23．Why does the author mention the underlined questions in paragraph 3?A．To express the writer’s concern.B．To compare different ideas.C．To amuse readers. D．To show people’s doubt.24．How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A．Proud. B．Humorous.C．Excited. D．Surprised.25．The text is mainly about _________________________.A．English words change a lot as time goes byB．it is hard to decide what the longest word isC．long words are often used in scientific fieldsD．why we can’t understand some English words三、七选五High school is an important period of your life, so you need to learn to spend your high school time wisely. Here are some ideas that can lend you a hand.Studies come first. Make sure that you understand everything your teachers teach. 26．Take notes if you think your teacher is teaching something important. Also, have a plan for what you’re going to study. It is best if you could deal with every subje ct every day.27．Don’t delay (推迟) today’s homework until tomorrow. If you happen to be sick, call or e-mail a friend to see if they can come and give you the homework. Being sick isn’t an excuse for not doing homework unless you’re very sick.Develop good relationships. High school is also a time for you to enjoy with your friends. 28．Choose to get along with those who like you for who you are. What’s more, you should try to make friends with teachers.Develop self-discipline (自律).

Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison for away. What he did had brought shame on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write. When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little form. If the family had forgiven (原谅) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn’t want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.As the train neared his hometown, his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder. “There it is,” he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. “It’s all right. The whole tree iswhite with ribbons.”【1】For which of the following reasons might the young man be worried?A．His family might not allow him to go home.B．His family would not remember him.C．His family hadn’t written to him frequently.D．His family hadn’t visited him for a long time.【2】The word “suspense” underlined in the last paragraph can best be replaced by .A．pain B．frightC．worry D．happiness【3】Why was Michael asked to watch for the apple tree?A．The young convict was afraid that he was refused by his family.B．The young convict’s seat was far from the window.C．The young convict was afraid of seeing a white ribbon in the tree.D．The young man was sure that his family would accept him.3.The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Interact or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to keep in contact with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about. The list goes on and on. Well, there may be no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group---teenagers. So, try to be a responsible guardian for your children.The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online are more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure can also cause heart, kidney and brain diseases.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first one to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure. Another research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on average “25 hours a week”. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily but it shoul dn’t consume us.”Ms. Gassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smart phones and to do some kinds of physical activities. She also suggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week.【1】The author mainly wants to tell us .A．how to prevent high blood pressure.B．too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.C．it’s necessary for teenagers to avoid the Internet.D．heavy Internet use will wor sen teenagers’ memory.【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A．People shouldn’t buy goods through the Internet.B．People shouldn’t waste too much time on the Internet.C．People shouldn’t fall in love with the Internet.D．People should control the time length of using the Internet【3】According to Casssidy-Bushrow, teenagers’ use of the Internet should be limited to .A．25 hours a week B．fourteen hours a weekC．ten hours a week D．five hours a week【4】The text is mainly intended for .A．parents B．teachersC．web-designers D．students4.A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected (期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat (对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make h im even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest (最顽皮的) boy in thi s class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children.【1】The professor started his research by .A．teaching the five children himselfB．asking the five children to find a new teacherC．telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeD．telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class【2】The five average students became top students mainly because of .A．the professor’s studyB．the teachers’ hard workC．the change in the teachers’ attitudeD．the change in the professor’s attitude【3】Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?A．To let us know how good his new teacher was.B．To show the importance of encouragementC．To show that the boy was clever enough.D．To let us know the famous boy.【4】The writer writes the passage mainly by .A．giving reasons and resultB．giving result and examplesC．describing what he thinksD．asking and answering questions【5】What does the passage mainly tell us?A．If you want to get more, you should have new teachers.B．A professor’s study can help you score highest.C．Only teachers can make you a top student.D．Attitude and belief can change a person.二、其他Thomas Edison was one of the most successful inventors the world has ever seen.【1】Bui people found that although Edison was good at inventing new things, he was a poor fisherman. He used to spend an hour almost every day sitting at the side of a river and fish. He always fished all alone by himself. 【2】People asked Edison, “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it?” His answer was, “I really never caught ant fish because I have never used any bait (诱饵).” Another question followed, “Why would you fish without bait?” Edison answered, “Because when you fish without bait, people don’t disturb you and neither do the fish.【3】”Sometimes the world’s best inventor was the world’s worst fisherman.

When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef,they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question andanswered," We came from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and hadan idea.

The food is very expensive. I haven’t got much money. You are growing and you must eat good food. You have a job now.

But every month we must pay the rent for this house. Will you give a little money to help to pay the rent?”“No，” said the boy，“I’ll go and live outside.”“But son，” said his mother sadly，“You won’t find a place to live for forty dollars a month，please stay here.”But the boy went out of the room and his mother sat on the bed and cried.

Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends.

For example, I went to listen to a journalist’s speech, which helped me better understand current events(时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom.

山西高一高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
山西高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland, why not visit the Maryland Science Center? It is located at 601 Light Street, Baltimore, MD21230. The ticket prices vary depending on ages, groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum, but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play, rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics, including outer space, the human body, dinosaurs, electricity, marine (海洋的) biology, energy, and much more. You can also take part in the interactive activities, such as racing bubbles, digging for dinosaur fossils, using puzzle pieces to construct cars, and so much more.The Davis Planetarium (天文馆)At the Davis Planetarium, you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center. The stars will appear on the ceiling of the theatre as you watch them.There are different shows to catch at the Davis Planetarium. You can learn about the galaxy and astronomy during the Dark Matters show and learn about the stars and planets during the Sky Live show. The One World One Sky show allows children to explore the stars. The Live from the Sun show will teach you all about the hot sun.The Kids RoomFor children, they can’t miss the Kids Room. They will be able to play in a water area, construct dams and water towers, push buttons, ring doorbells, build with blocks and Legos, and more, and definitely they will learn a lot. In addition, there is also an area for kids of two years old and under, where they can crawl, walk and explore safely with soft toys.【1】What do we know about the Maryland Science Center?A．It charges different prices for parents and children.B．It is regarded as the most popular museum in Maryland.C．It is just a museum where there are many famous exhibitions.D．It is mainly designed for children and their families to play together.【2】Which activity is not included in the Maryland Science Center?A．Taking part in bubble competition.B．Learning the structure of human body.C．Watching famous science fiction films.D．Gaining knowledge of marine creatures.【3】Which show should you choose if you want to know why the sun shines?A．The Dark Matters show.B．The Live from the Sun show.C．The One World One Sky show.D．The Sky Live show.【4】Which of the following is TRUE about the Kids Room?A．It is designed for parents who have children.B．It provide s a good opportunity for parents to relax.C．Children there need to be companied by their parents.D．It is a good place for children to learn and play at the same time.2.Time, wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world. More than 1,000 years ago, a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt. In 1755, an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon, Portugal, along with artworks inside. In modern times, the Taliban destroyed the huge BamiyanBuddhas in Afghanistan.As we all know, museums play an important part in our daily liv es. They store evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works. A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years. So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent (永久的) record of the artworks.The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States. The team is using technology to create digital copies (数字复制品) of Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.The process is called photogrammetry (摄影制图法). At one time, this process was slow and expensive. But not anymore, said Professor Robert Frischer. He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper. Now they can gather the 3-D data on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides. And when the viewer zooms in (用变焦距镜头放大), the image becomes clearer. The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.【1】What can we learn about the world’s artworks?A．Some of them have been destroyed.B．They were destroyed by accident.C．They were not protected by humans.D．Most of them are kept in Afghanistan now.【2】Why do Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together?A．To build the largest museum.B．To create long-lasting artworks.C．To introduce some ancient sculpture.D．To encourage more artists and historians.【3】What can we learn about photogrammetry?A．It is still expensive.B．It is a time-saving step now.C．It does great harm to the artworks.D．It was invented by Robert Frischer.3.The next time your friends roll their eyes when you’re snapping a selfie (自拍照) or taking a photo of your dessert, tell them that photographing everyday things can actually make people happier.In a study of more than 2,000 people, researchers found that people who took photos of their experiences, whether they were walking through a museum or going on a city bus tour, had a better time overall compared with those who didn’t.During each of the study’s nine experiments, people were asked to either take photos or give up photography during an everyday activity, such as eating a meal. In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while it’s happening.The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t.However, photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took p hotos of the bloody event were reported to have a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the researchers said.【1】Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?A．People can share their photos on Facebook.B．People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.C．Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.D．Photography gets people more involved in the activity.【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Photography sometimes can be dangerous.B．Photography requires more courage to do.C．Photography is an unpleasant process.D．Photography isn’t fun all the time.【3】Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?A．Photography helps you appreciate people around you.B．Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.C．Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.D．The photo-taking process is a mental choice.二、其他根据短文内容, 从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

All in all they can be categorized into six major classes, namely early childhood picture books, traditional literature, fiction, nonfiction, biography and poetry.Children have unique taste and interest. Although Harry Potter may be an all time favourite book for children all over the globe，they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it es to bedtime. The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Erie Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.There are many writers who popularized the children's literature or children's books through their brilliant works. John Amos enius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children. Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales. Perrault's stories include Little Red Rid ing Hood, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty and so on. Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales, such as The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid and The Emperor's New Clothes.Many children's books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium, like Alice in Wonderland, the BFG series and the Harry Porter series. These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls. All these movies based on popular children's books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.Children's books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are ing up with some new books. The potential market is immense because children are more into reading in this era than previous and they are enjoying it to the fullest.34．Before going to sleep children like to enjoy________．A．fairy tales B．nonfiction C．funny books D．traditional literature 35．All the following books are fairy tales EXCEPT________．A．The Snow Queen B．The Gruffalo C．Little Red Riding Hood D．Cinderella 36．Which of the following is NOT true about the films based on children's books?A．Adults seem not to like them at all.B．They bring in a lot of money.C．They are very popular with children.D．They are shown around the world.37．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________．A．more famous books would be published in futureB．children would like to read children's books moreC．more people are eager to be writers and authorsD．the economy is developing faster and fasterDI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, ing across me wandering through the traffic; motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something, “I'm awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of m aking a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.38．The girl refused to ask for help because she thought________．A．she might be recognized B．asking for help looked sillyC．she was normal and independent D．being found blind was embarrassing 39．After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________．A．began to run B．hit a person as usualC．hit a lamppost by accident D．was caught by something40．At the request stop that evening, the girl________．A．stopped a big lorry B．stopped the wrong busC．made no attempt to stop the bus D．was not noticed by other people第二节（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

We decided to leave the town. We stopped once we had left the buildings behind us. The carts were moving in opposite directions, though the ground was perfectly flat, and they wouldn't stay in place even with their wheels blocked by stones.In addition, it seemed as though the sea was being sucked(吸) backwards, as if it were being pushed back by the shaking of the land. Certainly the shoreline moved outwards, and many sea animals were left on dry sand. Behind us were frightening dark clouds that opened up to show fire—like lightning, but bigger. Not long after that the clouds reached down to the ground and covered the sea. Now came the dust, though still thin. I looked back.A dense cloud appeared behind us, following us like a flood pouring across the land. Then a darkness came that was not like a moonless or cloudy night, but more like being in a closed and unlighted room. You could hear women and children crying, men shouting. Some were calling for parents, others for children; they could only recognize them by their voices.Darkness and ashes came again, a great weight of them. We stood up and shook the ash off again and again; otherwise we would have been covered with it and crushed by the weight.At last the cloud became thinner and thinner until it was no more than smoke or fog. Soon there was real daylight. The sight that met our still terrified eyes was a changed world, buried in ash like snow.―from Pliny's letter to a friend【1】Pliny left the town after _____.A．the eruption B．the sky became darkC．the buildings began shaking D．the sea went back【2】The carts wouldn't stay still because _____.A．the earth was shakingB．the sea sucked them backwardsC．the wheels had stones under themD．the lightening frightened the horses【3】The reason why it was dark is that _____.A．it was very late at night B．clouds of ash covered the sunC．there was a very bad storm D．there was no moon that night【4】People tried to find their relations by calling out their names and .A．listening to their voices B．running about looking for themC．shaking the ash off people D．watching people as they ran past2.Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English examinations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.Here are some very important—and often ignored—guidelines to taking a test successfully.Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(冲动) means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful!I f you don’t know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don’t help yourself in the long run.【1】In the first paragraph, the writer stresses the importance of ______.A．better preparations for exams.B．better understanding of English.C．better skills at taking exams.D．better results of taking exams.【2】When taking an exam, you are advised ______.A．to first answer the questions which are easier to you.B．to depend on your first impulse to answer the questions.C．to search the test paper for all the answers to the questions.D．to give up the questi ons whose answers you don’t know.【3】It is common that many students______.A．pay much attention to their testing skills.B．often give up a difficult test halfway.C．often get higher results by cheating.D．don’t believe in their first impulse.【4】What would be the best title of the passage?A．Effective Studying Methods.B．Effective Test Taking Skills.C．Getting Better Exam Results.D．Being Successful Students.3.A NATIONWIDE BESTSELLERIt’s likely that everything you learned about America’s ancient history is wrong.The new book,1491, completely changes our understanding of the America before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.DID YOU KNOW?When Columbus landed there were probably more people in the Americas than there were in Europe.The peoples of North America had such healthy life-styles that as late as the 19th century they continued to be the tallest people on earth.Facts have shown that the Americas were populated as long as 33,000 years ago. 4,000 years ago Mesoamerican farmers developed corn in a feat (技艺) of genetic engineering that still isn’t completely understood.COMMENTS ON 1491“In the tradition of Jared Diamond & John MePhee, a totally new view of pre-Columbian America”.－Richard Rhodes“Attractively written and really absorbing, Charles C.Mann has produced a book that’s part detective story, part epic(史诗)and part tragedy(悲剧). He has taken on a vast topic: thousands of years, two huge continents, and cultures.”－Charles Matthews,San Jese Mercary News“Powerful and challenging”－Alan Taylor,Washingto post“A pleasure to read as well as a wonderful education”－Howard Zinn【1】On the whole,1491 is a book mainly about America’s________.A．life-styles B．population C．history D．agriculture【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the comments on the book 1491?A．It is interesting and instructive.B．It is attractive and culturally related.C．It is challenging and revolutionary.D．It is humorous and persuasive【3】From this passage, we can learn_________.A．people settled in the America a little earlier than 1492B．North Americans were the tallest in the 18th century in the worldC．Mesoamencan farmers knew genetic engineering 5,000 years agoD．the population in the Americas was smaller than that in Europe in 14924.Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were hea ding home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean myhusband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.【1】Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A．They took a later flight.B．They had early bookings.C．Their flight had been delayed.D．Their flight had been cancelled.【2】What can we learn about the author?A．She rarely misses a good deal.B．She seldom makes a compromise(妥协).C．She is very strict with her children.D．She is interested in cheap products.【3】What does the author do?A．She's a teacher.B．She's a housewife.C．She's a media person.D．She's a businesswoman.【4】What does the author want to tell us?A．How to expose bad tricks.B．How to reserve airline seats.C．How to spend money wisely.D．How to make a business deal.四、信息匹配Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her life, he or she might write in his or her diary. Now a teenager with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary?__【1】__ Usually, a teenager treats his or her diary like a book full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. __【2】__ Then, after I finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it!Because a blog is such a public way of writing, it has both good and bad points. __【3】__ If I am angry with a friend during school and write something bad about her in my diary, she will never know. However, if my sister writes something bad about a friend, that friend may read her blog and get angry. __ 【4】__.A blog has good points, of course. __【5】__ People choose to write in blogs because they know that their friends will read what they write. If I am feeling sad one day and write in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” no one will know about it. However, if my sister writes the same words in her blog, her best friends will quickly reply and tell her how much they like her.If People are careful about what they write, blogs are a very good way to write about everyday life. However, Istill prefer my old diary!A．So we have to be very careful of what we write.B．When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but only in my diary.C．The biggest problem with a blog is that anyone can read what you write.D．The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary.E. Everyone intends to keep his own secret.F. Blogs help people stay in contact with their friends and hear what the people around them are doing.G. When we write a diary we usually write down what we have done or how we think of others.五、其他按照提示完成下列句子。

It can be, but it's important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready．Running on the beach can be a good thing． It's certainly different from running on a track or a pavement． For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven（不平坦的）surface． As you push off, you're going to lose some of your push as the sandmoves． So, you're not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track ora pavement． But this unevenness has an ________: It gives your body an extraworkout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don't get as much use during runs on firm surfaces．For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing stepto step．You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope（倾斜） down to the water． If you're going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you're putting more pressure on it due to the slope．Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot ﹣ not wearing anything on feet． However, if you're not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don't run long distances atfirst． That's because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it's important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet． If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage．（1）Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters？________A The soft surface makes people fall over easily．B People need to run carefully on its smooth surface．C Running on its uneven surface takes much effort．D It's hard to keep one's balance on its hard surface．．（2）Which of the following best explains "upside" underlined in Paragraph 2？________A Advantage．B Reason．C Character．D Challenge．．（3）What's the author's attitude to barefoot running？________A Critical．B Supportive．C Doubtful．D Uncaring．．（4）The passage can probably be found in________．A A primary school textbookB A tourist guideC A sports magazineD A scientific report．第二节（共5题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．19.

2020年太原市第五中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析
2020年太原市第五中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world. ParisFirst on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine River.Glacier National ParkGlacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking scenery and fresh mountain air.Bora BoraThe reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London, the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.A. enjoy crystal blue lakesB. visit its famous attractionsC. take a walk around cobblestone streetsD. meet the friendliest people you have ever met2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?A. peaceful beaches.B. White-water rafting.C. Snow-capped mountains.D. Fresh mountain air.3. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. to introduce the top three destinations.B. to compare the top three destinations.C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinationsBAge has never been a problem for 16-year-old Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, which is for people who were forced to leave their homes because of earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.She doesn’t stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took fights all the time. Her goal is to use it to help pilots deal with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and in the future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race is designed to help people to be talents in various areas of life.4. Which of the following is TRUE about Thessalonika?A. When she was 6 years old, she started homeschooling.B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.C. She majored in science and technology.D. In 2013 she got her bachelor’s degree through completing courses online.5. What is her next plan according to the passage?A. Major in aviation psychology.B. Deliver inspiring speeches for church events and leadership meetings.C. Be active in her youth group at church.D. Write another book to help people to be talents.6. Why does she write the book Jump the Education Barrier?A. It aims to help people to be geniuses.B. It is intended to give students a hand to complete college.C. It is designed to arouse people’s awareness of psychology.D. The author hope to share her own experience with others.7. Which ofthe following can be the best title for the text?A. The Story of ThessalonikaB. To be a talentC. Three Published BooksD. HomeschoolingCThe herd of elephants moving north after leaving the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan province has drawn widespread public attention, with tens of millions of people following its movement on TV programs and social media platforms.But this is not because it’s the first time wild Asian Elephants have wandered away from their habitat and headed northward, but for only this time the herd has traveled more than 400 kilometers as far as Kunming. Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover andstrengthen conservation.Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals and birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries. The next decade therefore will be extremely important for the world’s forests and wildlife, and China can play a leading role in saving them by better protecting its forests and expanding its forest cover.8. Why has the herd of elephants caused so much public interest?A. There exist heated discussions in the whole country even overseas.B. TV programs and social media platforms want to benefit from them.C. They are the first wild Asian Elephants to leave their natural habitat.D. The elephants has traveled a long distance and lived in harmony with humans.9. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the “fantastic” event?A. More research on the reasons behind the event is required.B. Scientists need to limit the habitats for elephants and other animals.C. People should find ways to have a good relationship with elephants.D. There’s an urgent demand for detailed information about the elephants.10. Which method is provided in the passage to restore nature?A. Expanding the coverage of forest.B. Getting the government’s policy support.C. Bringing up various ways to protect the forests.D. Offering more kinds of vegetation to all animals.11. What does this event of elephants leaving their habitats remind us to do?A. To set more goals to change the food chain.B. To be aware of the situation of the existing forests.C. To realize harmonious coexistence of human and nature.D. To reduce the destruction of the forests around the globe.DSome people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloween spirit.Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you readthatright. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.Of course he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jack‑o’‑lanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just fivepumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the Cabell‑Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.12. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The Griffiths selling 3,000 pumpkins a day.B. Ric Griffith giving 3,000 jack-o’‑lanterns to tourists.C. Ric Griffith teaching 3,000 people how to display jack-o’‑lanterns.D. The Griffiths decorating their house with 3,000 pumpkins.13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Ric Griffith’s idea has received support from his community.B. There are only two kinds of jack-o’‑lanterns.C. Ric Griffith dislikes asking for help from others.D. There are 30,000 people in Kenova.14. What do we know about the tradition?A. It began with 1,978 pumpkins.B. It has lasted more than 40 years.C. It includes five pumpkin competitions.D. It encourages people to do more exercise.15. What’s Tyson Compton’s attitude towards the tradition?A. Worried.B. Uncaring.C. Favorable.D. Uncertain.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.4. What did Jennifer do after high school?A. She helped her dad with his work.B. She ran the family farm on her own.C. She taught her sisters and brothers.D. She supported herself through college.5. Why did she choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital?A. To learn from the best nurses.B. To take care of her kids easily at night.C. To save money for her parents.D. To find a well-paid job there.6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A. Her health.B. Her chance of promotion.C Her reputation. D. Her time with family.7. What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Love breaks down barriers.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.CA company called Neuralink has shared a video which appears to show a monkey playing a video game, but what makes the video even stranger is that themonkey is playing the video game with just its mind.Neuralink is a company owned by Elon Musk, which is working to develop devices that could allow people to control things using just their brains. The monkey in the video is called Pager, having special "Link" devices inside his brain. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game using a banana juice as a reward when he playedthe game correctly. Soon Pager was eager to play well in order to get more smoothie. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick (操纵杆). But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence (AI) to help them decode (解码) Pager's brain signals.The next step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an "up"signal to the video game. Thus Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.When people are paralyzed (瘫痪的), it's often because the brain has lost the ability to send signals to nerves and muscles in certain parts of the body. Neuralink hopes that one day, its system will be ableto send this information in a different way, allowing paralyzed people to use their arms or legs again.8. What does Neuralink aim to do?A. To make monkeys much smarter.B. To solve complex problems with monkeys.C. To create a device linking monkeys and people.D. To make people control things with their brains.9. How does the author introduce the process of the research?A. In order of time.B. By making a comparison.C. By giving examples.D. In order of space.10. What played an important role in the success of the research?A. The joystick.B. Artificial intelligence.C. The video game.D. The banana smoothie.11. Which is the most suitable title of the test?A. Neuralink Posts an Unusual VideoB. Disabled People Have a Bright FutureC. Monkey Plays Video Games with His MindD. Neuralink, a Creative and Competitive CompanyDAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to thetop of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.12. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B.

Since last year, Natalie, 15, hasbeen taking lost or thrown — away fishing nets and rope and transforming them into bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets and necklaces.Last year, Natalie was working on an assignment for her science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) class. As part of the assignment, she learned about “ghost nets”, which are fishing nets that have been left or lost in the ocean by people who fish.“They have huge effects on our environment. They can kill coral reefs and many animals,” said Natalie. “46 percent of the Pacific garbage is ghost gear.” The Great Pacific Garbage is a huge collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean betweenHawaiiandCalifornia.Natalie told her mom she wanted to do something to help. She got in touch with a handful of charities, including the Sea Protection Society and Coastal Action.After getting some shipments of ghost nets and rope from those organizations, Natalie, with the help of her family, started turning thediscardedgear into new artworks. “We've made bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets, and we've made necklaces, which also use beach glass in them,” she said. Natalie then started selling the artworks online, the crafty buying and selling website.She donated all her profits-minus a small sum of change to cover supplies — to the charities that donated fishing supplies to her. She's also been donating all the income from her non-profit business, called Nautical Waters, to charity. Natalie said she hoped to continue her passion for ocean life, with plans to study marine biology in university.4. How did Natalie help with ghost nets?A. By turning them into artworks.B. By asking support from her mother.C. By collecting money from charities.D. By selling ghost nets at a good price.5. What made Natalie decide to do something with ghost nets?A. To collect supplies for the artworks.B. To prepare for her study in university.C. To protect coral reefs and marine animals.D. To complete an assignment for her STEM class.6. What docs the underlined word “discarded" in Paragraph5refer to?A. Polluted.B. Rare.C. Waste.D. Discovered.7. What is the best title for the text.A. Ghost Nets Ready forSaleB. Charities Make a Big DifferenceC. Natalie's Passion for Ocean TreasuresD. TeenTurnsOld Fishing Nets into ArtworksCNina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills（灌输）in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter ofBecause of Winn-Dixieby Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being achore.”But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books（both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.8. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.9. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Task.B. Process.C. Habit.D. Skill.10. What can children get from Epic?A. Free audio books.B. Tasks on reading levels.C. Advice from educators.D. Useful learning resources.11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. A Teacher's New Reading MethodB. Pupils' love of Reading RoomC. Options of Teaching ReadingD. Easy Access to Digital ReadingDAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.12. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.13. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Now, thepeeing boy has finally becomeenvironmentally friendly.To everyone’s surprise, thefamous statue used to waste 1,000to 2,500 liters of drinking watera day. He peed water directlyinto the city’s sewers (下水道).Energy engineer RegisCallens found this waste afterfixing a water meter (水量计) inthe statue. If his calculation iscorrect, then the peeing boy haswasted more than 250 millionliters of water over the last 400years.As a result of this finding,a new system for delivering the water back to the naughty boy was created. Now he will no longer waste clean drinking water. Instead, he will use water recycled from a closed circuit (闭合回路). That means the water he pees out will be used again in an almost endless cycle.The solution came out during the Brussels Water Week. A local official said, “We will also set up the system in schools and sports centers. We should set an example. We will encourage everyone in Brussels to pay attention to their water consumption.”The Manneken Pis is a copy of the 1619 original, which is in a nearby museum. He is often dressed up in different costumes throughout the year to celebrate festivals and special events. 19. What wasn’t ex pected by thepublic according to the text?A. The Manneken Pis was environmentally unfriendly.B. The calculation of RegisCallens was not correct.C. The system was created tosend water back to the boy.D. The city’s sewer s wereblocked because of the statue.20. What can we learn from thewords of the local official inParagraph 5?A. The solution was useful tolocal people.B. Water waste will become moreserious.C. Citizens are encouraged toprotect the statue.D. The system will be usedwidely in the future.21. Which one can be the besttitle of the text?A. A Popular TouristAttraction B. AWater-saving StatueC. A Water Meter in the StatueD. A Solution to Water WasteCThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running onthe sand good for your body? Itcan be, but it’s important to beaware of the challenges that somebeach runners experience beforeyou get ready.Running on the beach can bea good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a trackor a pavement. For starters, sandcan be a challenge because it hasan uneven (不平坦的) surface. Asyou push off, you’re going tolose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going tobe able to push yourself forwardas you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevennesshas an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot —not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles thanrunning with shoes does, andit’s important to strengthenthese muscles and adapt your feet.If you want to run barefoot andas long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!Running on the sand can be asmart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.22. Why is it difficult to run onthe beach for starters?A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.B. People need to run carefullyon its smooth surface.C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.23. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlinedin Paragraph 2?A. Advantage.B. Reason.C. Character.D. Challenge.24. What’s the author’sattitude to barefoot running?A. Critical.B.Supportive. C. Doubtful.D. Uncaring.25. The passage can probably befound in ______.A. A primary school textbookB. A tourist guideC. A sports magazineD. A scientific report第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
